FAQs

Nu Patch Transdermal Patch works by blocking the effect of chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Thereby, Nu Patch Transdermal Patch helps in providing relief from pain.

Nu Patch Transdermal Patch is used to reduce and relieve pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis. It is a joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage.

Avoid concomitant use of Nu Patch Transdermal Patch with other topical products such as cosmetics, sunscreens, lotions, moisturisers, insect repellent creams, and other gels.

About Nu Patch Transdermal Patch

Nu Patch Transdermal Patch is used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders, strain, sprain, arthritis, contusions (bruise), post-traumatic pain, and low back pain. Musculoskeletal pain could occur due to arthritis, osteoporosis, fractures, dislocations, problems with the bone structure or injury to the bones, joints, tendons, muscles, and ligaments.
 
Nu Patch Transdermal Patch contains Diclofenac diethylamine which works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical prostaglandin. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser prostaglandins are produced; this helps in reducing mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. 
 
In some cases, you may experience common side-effects such as application site reactions like itching, irritation, redness, and burning sensation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen
